[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]October 2022 is a mess.  Starts with a stupid 1/2 "O" day followed by a "H" day.  Two PW days.  Indigenous Peoples' Day.  And a 2-hour early dismissal day due to end of 1st Quarter. SMH[/quote]

October 2022 is terrible.  It will be awful for young ES students and many SPED students.

Currently some of those days tend to fall in January. We've been joking for at least 7 years now among my friends that FCPS never has school in Jan & Feb. I am assuming the "never has school" month is just moving to October.

I want them to resurrect the calendar from 20 years ago with only 4 built in snow days and a lot less PD days. Only keep the PD the teachers find helpful and drop the rest.[/quote]

I want the Texas school calendar.

We started around August 21-24.  Finished the Thursday before Memorial day with Graduatioms starting the week prior right after AP exams were completed.

1 week off for Thanksgiving.

2 weeks off over Chriwtmas/New Year.

National holidays off.

No early release days except the last day of school.

Limited teacher work days (maybe 1x quarter???)  It was a nominal amount of days off for parent/teacher conferences.  I think teacher work days were at the beginning of the year.  I taught there, starting a month into the school year and we did not have any schoolwide days off for teacher workdays, beyond the conference days.  If you needed training it was a couple of teachers at a time at an offsite location with a sub in the classroom.

Kids with religious observances were excused with time to make up assignments.

Such a smarter schedule and so much less inconvenient to parents.[/quote]

Fine by me. FCPS in 2001 only had 2 days for Thanksgiving and a 1 week winter break, a little more in the way of teacher workdays.[/quote]
